and it could be done at home, using an O2 cannister, that should be cheap even for those paying out of pocket without medical insurance.
no wonder why the medical establishment would be opposed to a simple work around that would remove the need for hospitalization or ICU
- ceejayoz 6y agoThese patients still need the care and monitoring you'd get in an ICU, and there's zero indication the "medical establishment" is opposed to it - high-flow oxygen is used regularly in hospitals in a variety of scenarios.
- 1996 6y agodefine care and monitoring. - care, like taking the drugs they have been prescribed and regularly take at home? Any family member can do that. - monitoring that the saturation does not fall too low... so that patients can be intubated with a 90% risk of death? I'd rather opt out of that one. To be clear, I'm talking about de-medicalizing covid: no ICU, no hospital. Just O2 nasal canula at home. It seems unimaginable, but a large number of in the world deal with no hospital healthcare.
